    Description

      Execpt for whitespace there is not place anywhere in Qt-Creator, where you can 'park' your mouse without opening a usually totally unnecessay tooltip. For me this is extremely annoying.
      As a qickfix I added to the method: "void CppHoverHandler::identifyMatch(TextEditor::ITextEditor *editor, int pos)" a few lines:
      Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifier = QApplication::keyboardModifiers();
      if(!(modifier & Qt::ShiftModifier))

      { return; }

      Now tooltips open in the editor only when I press the shift key. Did the same thing in several other places. Mostly in the data method of several models. NOW it is actually fun to work with the creator. Please make this an official feature. Maybe one, which can be toggled somewhere in the config.
